I work with teens, young adults, adults, and couples focusing on a range of issues including substance use, childhood trauma, codependency, and interpersonal conflicts. Whether you’re struggling with the impacts of past trauma, managing substance use, or navigating complex relationships, I’m here to support you. For couples facing communication and connection challenges, including infidelity and intimacy, I provide guidance to help resolve conflicts, enhance understanding, and strengthen their bond.
My practice is dedicated to integrating the mind and body, addressing how trapped or stuck physical sensations and unresolved traumatic experiences can impact your overall well-being. My approach involves a blend of somatic techniques and traditional therapeutic modalities to facilitate a deeper, more holistic healing process.
My approach emphasizes bringing together all parts of the self to cultivate greater unity and self-compassion. Through this integrative and compassionate process, I strive to help you find your truth, heal from past wounds, and build a more fulfilling life. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey towards healing and growth.
